Masterful Mozart.......2006-01-27
These two "Piano Quartets" are Mozart at his most magnificent. The team of Ma, Ax, Stern and Laredo, who also brought us classic chamber recordings by Beethoven, Brahms, Faure, and most recently Dvorak, here tackle Mozart with glowing results. I have to say that while I'm a huge fan of Yo-Yo Ma and Isaac Stern, I can be luke warm about Emanuel Ax . While I don't dispute his virtuosity, I sometimes have found his playing style cold and uninspiring. Oh, but not here! This quartet's playing is wonderfully telepathic, and they make the music jump off the page. There's even a little improvising going on, and while it may not be of the same volume and nature as John Coltrane and Miles Davis, it is of similar quality. This Mozart "Piano Quartets" is an essential purchase for serious fans, and a great introduction for newcomers. Happy 250th Wolfie!

One of the very best Mozart recordings ever.......2005-11-18
The Beaux Arts Trio, with the addition of Bruno Giuranna on viola, offer this startlingly integrated, melodic and thoughtfully clear interpretation of two wonderful pieces. This recording shows how, when superb musicians tackle a great piece, their playing becomes transparent - they almost disappear, revealing the essence of the work itself.
On this recording, spirit, joy, and technical mastery come together to deliver a delicacy any listener - experienced or novice - can savor.
More chamber masterpieces from Mozart.......2005-06-13
Mozart wrote a plethera of fine chamber music in the galante style of the classical era: Quintets for various instruments, string quartets, string trios, string duos, piano trios, violin sonatas and the two magnificent piano quartets here. With these two quartets, Mozart more-or-less invented the genre which was later taken up by Schumann, Brahms and Dvorak. These piano quartets show Mozart in both a dramatic mode in the minor work and a typical merry mood in the major piece. But, even in the minor work, Mozart made sure things did not get too grave, working over a sprite and lyrical theme and ending in a postive (major key) mood as usual of Mozart. Mozart really had a gift for taking an unbelievably simple melody and developing it via sonata form into a work of art. You see that talent here.
The Beaux Art Trio (with added violist Bruno Giuranna) has a real nack for the melody-saturated compositions of Mozart and their meticulous readings here have a effortless, charming appeal. Mannahem Preseller's piano runs dance spontaneously in perfect rhythm and remind one of the perfect, bouncy legato that Mozart was famous for. The strings match this galante style and bring great vibrancy to this music. All this is easy to hear in the short music clips. In short, a highly rated recording from one of the great trios of all times and with excellent sound quality that should satisfy most a Mozart chamber fan. Recommended, as is just about any recording from the Beaux Arts Trio which are a safe bet for it being one of the top recordings available in spite of much fine competition).

A hidden gem.......2005-04-01
There isn't much I can say about this recording that hasn't already been said. In short, the Menuhin Festival Piano Quartet gives impassioned, exuberant readings of these works that bring out their drama and ardor while still maintaining Mozartean precision and transparency of sound. The acoustics are a tad on the resonant side, which I prefer--but if you like your chamber music to sound more confined, this isn't the recording for you. That's the only possible fault I can find with this CD, though. Some Naxos classical CDs are good starter recordings until you can buy more "upscale" interpretations, but this isn't one of them--it's the only recording of these quartets I need. It sounds every bit as good as the classic recordings of Mozart's piano quartets and it's less than half the price. What else do you need to know?
What a bargain!.......2004-05-16
In my view, Mozart's two piano quartets (he only wrote the two) are amongst the loveliest in the chamber music repertoire. The Menuhin Festival Piano Quartet provides a classy, lively, and lyrical performance of both.
I admit that I have not heard the two much higher-priced recordings recommended by Gramophone, but I'd be very surprised if they are much better. At $7, this CD is a real bargain; it is one of my most frequently played CDs -- for good reason. [I say much the same about the Ashkenazy / Zukerman / Harris recording of Schubert's piano trios, for the same reasons.]
Mozart Delight!.......2002-12-24
I stumbled on this CD recently while looking for a performance by the Menuhim Festival Orchestra. I bought it based upon the fine review written below and have not been disappointed. My measure of a CD's quality is how long it remains on my six disc carousel. This CD has not left the carousel in the weeks since I first listened to it. I have no idea why my compatriot gave these performances only four stars. In my estimation they surely deserve five stars. That the CD costs less than the price of a movie ticket is at once a surprise and a delight. Thank you again Naxos! You make it possible for a classical music fan to build a credible library of fine music without having to mortgage the house.
Excellent!.......2000-07-25
This CD contains a pair of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's loveliest chamber music compositions. Mozart only composed two piano quartets in his brief but illustrious career, and both came relatively late in his life. The first (K.478) was completed in 1785, and the second (K.493) came a year later. These quartets show Mozart at "full stretch," with his chamber music style fully developed and at its most eloquent and imaginative.
I found these to be excellent performances. The Menuhin Festival Piano Quartet plays both masterpieces with great sensitivity and warmth. The first movements of both are played with bold majesty, especially in the opening measures. Inner movements are quietly serene and poetic. The G minor quartet's second movement has a beautifully played piano melody accompanied by the strings, while the central movement of the E flat major quartet takes the form of a superbly balanced musical conversation between all four instruments. The final movements of both quartets both have a joyfully exuberant dance-like quality which shows Mozart at his most cheerfully optimistic.
Overall, the CD sound quality is very good. The balance between the four instruments is almost perfect, giving the recording an excellent sense of realism and immediacy. However, the resonant acoustics of Clara Wieck auditorium, where the quartets were recorded, detract slightly from the intimate feel so essential in chamber music. Despite this very minor shortcoming, this remains a very enjoyable listening experience.
Highly recommended!

Academic Schubert and Mozart.......1998-10-27
This was a disappointing album for me. While all the notes are there, and they are well recorded, the performances in both the Schubert and the Mozart lack the spark that would give them life. The Adagio and Rondo Concertante in F, however, is worth hearing, and rarely recorded.

Buy this for both quartets and a wonderful arrangement of K. 452. .......2006-04-24
Sonnerie has made an excellent recording here: the playing is fully alert and sensitive to nuances presented in the music, and ornamentation, added when the context calls for it, is never less than witty and tasteful. The ASV recorded sound is great also, neither too dry or too reverbrant, and serves well to show off the beautiful sounds these musicians unfailingly tease from their period instruments. The bonus usually not present in other competing recordings of this music is an anonymous arrangment of the quintet for pianoforte and wind instruments, K. 452 (published first in 1800). Sonnerie sings the melodies in the slow movements so touchingly one is almost moved to tears by the beauty of the interpretation and the sound. A version that no lovers of this music on period instruments should miss.
